Red, White and Blue Yogurt Pops

Well… in the spirit of our upcoming holiday in the USA, July 4th, I made up some frozen yogurt pops with fruit. Check these delicious frozen concoctions out…red, white, blue pops

On July 4th, my preference is to be in Boston on the harbor or near the ocean to celebrate USA’s  birthday. This year, we are up in the air on where we’ll land for the holiday…but follow me on instagram if you want to find out! 🙂

I purchased some re-usable frozen popsicle molds and have been making all types of frozen treats.  This isn’t my first try at frozen pops…in fact, you might want to see my other delicious fruit pops here! 

This time, I decided to use some yogurt and fresh fruits.  Rather than purchase a pre-made vanilla yogurt–I bought plain {lactose free} and added a little sugar that I had infused with some vanilla beans.  I simply added the vanilla beans to granulated sugar and stored this mixture in a mason jar.  The vanilla infused sugar is SO amazing.  But, you can substitute some plain sugar and a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract in this recipe.

I like to flavor my own yogurt to give it just a hint of sweetness.vanilla bean sugar

I purchased a big tub of Green Valley lactose free plain yogurt to make my pops.  If you are NOT lactose intolerant, feel free to sub in regular or Greek style yogurt in this recipe. I chopped up some fresh strawberries and grabbed a small bowl of frozen blueberries I had on hand to add to my pops too!

I mixed up the yogurt with a some vanilla infused sugar. Then… added the yogurt to the pop molds and tossed in some fruit along the way.

Then the pops went into the freezer to harden up…and then voila!  YUMMMMY…  Are you ready to take a bite?  These frozen fruity yogurt pops are low FODMAP and quite refreshing.

Happy Fourth to my USA followers!  4th of july goodiesHope you Fourth of July sparkles!

    Thanks Kate for your creative recipes and helpful information. I always learn something new from your blog and readers’ questions.
    I am following the low FODMAP diet. One problem I have is digesting fructans. I understand I can use garlic infused oil for cooking. Is this the same as using fresh garlic cloves (elephant garlic to be exact) in olive oil during cooking and just removing the cloves before eating?
    Also, is a small amount of onion powder in Pacific Life chicken broth a problem?
    Thanks for your help.

      You can use fresh garlic in oil to infuse flavor and then remove garlic b/4 consumption. Fructans are water-soluble fibers so won’t leach into the oil when you cook it. For the elimination phase of the diet–we recommend avoiding event the small amounts of onion in broth.

    Madeleine and I were thrilled to see this post! The Green Valley vanilla yogurt (plain and with granola, in smoothies, etc.) has been a HUGE hit here and I’m sure these pops will be great, too. Thank you VERY much! Happy Fourth!

    Love this…do you think you could freeze the mixture and scoop and serve for those of us who don’t have pop molds? Always looking for a sweet treat to enjoy after a meal. Happy 4th Kate!

      Yes, Chris, most definitely. You can also blend the fruits with the yogurt and add them to paper cups and freeze them. Get creative. Lot’s of fun treats can be made with lactose free yogurt and low FODMAP fruits!

    What a terrific – and pretty – summer treat. Thank you! Now if only there was a FODMAPs free ice cream cone to put this in…
